Roofing in Miami
Miami's Exhibit C fee schedule (Resolution R-26-0200, April 23, 2026) has no roofing row. A residential re-roof falls under the general line instead: 0.50 percent of estimated cost for up to 3 units, $45.00 under an estimated $2,500, and a $110.00 minimum. State and county surcharges aren't included. The city's Get a Roofing Permit page says a residential project under $2500 owes no upfront fee, though re-review and ancillary fees may be invoiced before the permit is pulled.
Every roofing job in the city needs a building permit, and each material needs a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval at application. Miami sits within the code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the Florida Building Code defines as Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Check the folio number first. The roofing page says one beginning with -01 confirms the address is inside city limits. Applications run through iBuild, and the city's building permit page lists 305-468-5900 or 311 for questions; the Building Department sits on the 4th Floor of the Miami Riverside Center.
After a severe weather event, Miami-Dade Code s. 8-16 bars repairing a damaged structure until the Building Official has inspected and approved it. Reinforcing the roof can qualify for the SAVE program, which cuts city building permit fees by 50 percent for residential storm-proofing and ends February 12, 2027 unless the Commission extends it a year, so raise SAVE when you file.
